“Rehabilitating Wardlow Road from Cherry Avenue to the 405 Freeway brings even more pride to California Heights and Bixby Knolls,” said 7th District Councilmember James Johnson. “This improved road and dozens of new trees will provide a welcoming entrance to our community and benefit our residents and businesses.”

An estimated 12,960 tires were recycled into rubberized asphalt for this project. In addition, all the old asphalt material was recycled into new asphalt or utilized as base material on other street projects.

Work began in May. The $1.6 million project was financed primarily with Proposition C funds.
